Life is full of transitions and I’m feeling it this week. My baby turned 13 (we now have four teenagers in the house!) Another daughter recently graduated from high school and is heading out for a summer job as a camp counselor, gone from home for several weeks. The weather is changing from spring to summer. Hubby and I are discussing the details of retirement (like when, where, how…) Oh my! I think I need another cup of coffee just to process it all. Good thing last week’s most viewed post was Neutral Farmhouse Coffee Nook Essentials. It gave me some great ideas for my own tiny coffee nook.
My features this week are:
- DIY Mini License Plate Game because my kids still play the license plate game when we travel and they are going to love this version!
- 17 Fresh Homemade Lemonade Recipes because lemonade and summer just go together!
- 8 Surprisingly Simple Tips to Gain Time in Your Day because my goal this summer is savor the moments and make the most of my days.
And Now, for This Week’s Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog Hop!
